Alameda, California (EastBayDaily) — “Rockin’ Robin” Rosaaen’s Elvis memorabilia collection shadows a six and a half year affair of the heart with the “King of Rock n’ Roll.” After attending her first Elvis show in Las Vegas in 1970, Rosaaen was hooked, transfixed by his presence and velvet voice. She attended over seventy Elvis concerts and with each new show became more and more savvy in catching the attention of the object of her affections.

In the early 70’s Rosaaen worked for a European health spa whose slogan was “I Want Your Body.” The suggestive tagline was printed on buttons, t-shirts and bumper stickers, which Rosaaen took to concerts in the hopes of standing out in the crowd. It worked – she was rewarded with scarves and priceless kisses as well as a particularly unforgettable experience with “The King.” As he was singing Love Me Tender Elvis took notice of the sexy bumper sticker Rosaaen was holding as she motioned to him. He reached down, took the sticker and chuckled, showing it to the audience and proclaiming to Rosaaen, “You got it, baby!” She then took the white sweat drenched scarf he offered her and ran her hand through his hair, while exchanging what she now refers to as “The Kiss.” Three or four songs passed when Elvis suddenly turned to Rosaaen with pointed finger and said “Rockin’ Robin,” and the idol/fan love affair continued on its way, with Rosaaen becoming a familiar presence to the one and only Elvis Aaron Presley.

Rosaaen even parlayed her love of Elvis into a career as an authenticator of Elvis memorabilia for eBay for a time.
